1952 Map of Big Dune

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Amargosa Desert landscape of the early 1950s is defined by the remnants of earlier settlement and the dry path of the Amargosa River. This survey captures a moment when the regional infrastructure was in transition, most notably marked by the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad, which is shown here as a dismantled line running north toward Tonopah. Several former hubs are reduced to locations of historical interest, including Ashton, Lees Camp, and Leeland.
